    I'm not positive about this or could be completely off, but I seem to remember hearing something about some mobile processors slowing down to conserve power? Something like that? The force themselves to run at a lower clock speed and vcore to save power. I dunno, it could just be a software glitch. Maybe I'm the one glitching, lol.
